Differences in cracking behaviour Standard particles burst suddenly at approximately 65 % deformation Soft particle: Initial cracking at relatively low deformation Soft particle: Cracks grow, but no catastrophic burst appears
Improving existing application Particle size, off size Confine Process Improve plating Inefficient use of conductive metal Improved plating process
New applications BGA/CSP Potential new IFU-project Replace solid solder balls with Polymer core balls Reliability Environmental
